A Dream

As the night grows silent, I delicately watch you sleep With such tender breathing On the grass in your backyard. I’m afraid that if I touch you , you’ll wake Your catching smile signifies you’re dreaming things I could not I try to remember why you’re so important to me A list appears without effort It’s not hard I cautiously lift my cold fingers , and air is the only thing that Separates them from your smooth face. You stir My thoughts shift back to the reality That I’m too close Brown eyes lock me into their spell We stay that way for a few precious seconds. You don’t seem disturbed by the fact that I was secretly watching You. From my window, I saw you lying alone , and went over to keep you Company . You touch your fingertips with mine that were left in mid-air “ I dreamt something spectacular “ you whispered gently I melted at the sound of your voice , And wondered what you thought about me. How do you feel? My gaze couldn’t come off our touch. “you know what it was?” you asked in the same tone. I looked back into your delicate eye’s ,wandering, but said nothing . “this” You smiled as you leaned closer And finally Kissed me.
